[CEQA Transportation and Traff ic Threshold 15(d)] Impact Analysis The proposed project is located on the southwest corner of the Town and Country Manor campus at the intersection of Lawson Way and Memory Lane. The site is currently a surface parking lot and a lawn area. Two entrances currently serve the parking lot: one full- movement driveway on Lawson Way and one right -in /right -out only driveway Memory Lane. Access to the site will be via two existing entrances. The south entrance on Memory Lane will remain a single right- in/right -out driveway with left turns prohibited because of a raised median in Memory Lane. On Lawson Way, drivers can continue to make left turns in and out of the project site via the two -way left -turn lane. Drivers exiting the site and wishing to go north can turn right onto Memory Lane or Lawson Way. From there, the driver will have the option of heading north on Lawson Way towards Town & Country Road or making a right turn from Memory Lane onto Main Street. Drivers approaching the site from the west will have to make a left turn onto Lawson Way because of a raised median that prohibits left turns into the project site from Memory Lane. The site plan shows that the driveway entrance on Memory Lane will be 40 feet wide with one lane in and one lane out. A 20- foot -wide fire access lane is marked on the site plan for the Memory Lane entrance. The driveway entrance on Lawson Way will be 20 feet wide with one lane in each direction as well. The site plan shows a 20- foot -wide driveway that connects both driveways. Delivery and trash trucks will take access to the site from the driveway entrance on Lawson Way. The site plan shows a loading zone, loading dock and a trash enclosure located approximately 50 feet east of the driveway on the north end of the proposed building.
